Sweet Display at Soolip

What a grand event. Check out our beautiful candy display at the Soolip Wedding Event at the Bel Air Bay Club last weekend. We want to thank Archive Vintage Rentals for this uniquely distressed, antique dresser. Seriously, it's so gorgeous I want to take it home with me. It was a blast creating this space and hope everyone enjoyed our sweets. We also want to give kudos to Krista Jon Couture Design for the beautiful succulents.

A Soolip Wedding Event Los Angeles

If you haven't already heard about A Soolip Wedding, have we got a treat for you. Originally Soolip was a artful paper company, located in Los Angeles. Exquisite design and passion led the founder Wanda Wen to establish a brand synonymous with lifestyle. "Soolip" is Wen's middle name and means "one's life destiny is to seek wisdom" in Chinese. It describes the journey of A Soolip Wedding.

Candee by Sandee is attending their glamorous event this upcoming weekend in Los Angeles. The event will be held at the Bel Air Bay Club on Sunday and will feature some fantastic local experts. During Eat, Drink & Be Merry, we will be exposed to culinary masters of their own rite, from Krista Jon Couture, Bleu Tirage, Cake Divas, to Wayne Foster. We will learn about invitations and other "Eloquent Etiquette" from Wanda Wen herself, as well as Beverly Hills Manners and Bloomingdale's Bridal Registry.

The event also includes a new way to look at celebrating, party with a conscious, the experts in that field will be VeeV Acai Spirits, The Party Goddess, Malibu Compost & a renowned Marriage Coach and Relationship Expert. The day ends with Bridal Beauty, including the latest bridal fashion and beauty. We'll hear from Claire Pettibone, David Yurman Area Manager, Luxe Beauty CEO and Smiles by Sands Cosmetic Dentistry.

We are so excited to attend this once in a lifetime event and can't wait to share all of our wisdom with our clients and future clients. Check back to read this blog after the event and get all the post-party knowledge, along with some great photos.

Roth Event, Salt Creek, California

Elite Produtions International certainly lived up to their "elite" reputation pulling off day after day, night after night of jaw dropping events for Roth Financial earlier this month. It was our pleasure to be called upon to work with an incredible TEAM of event planners, florists, caterers, lighting, staging... entertainers.... including the one and only, Billy Idol on the final night!!! On Monday, the tent was swathed in orange draping, crystal curtains, and hip orange and white lounge furniture. The tent was filled top to bottom with go-go dancers, pillars of goldfish swimming, crystal curtains sparking, gorgeous floral arrangements... and more food than you could consume in an evening... from In-n-Out burger trucks, (two of them!), BBQ's with smoking Newport Rib Company's mouthwatering ribs, chicken and links... Dippin Dots, to of course, Candee by Sandee's candy spread! OC's Social Distortion blew the roof off the tent... well "figuratively", at least! GREAT working with http://www.eliteproductionsintl.com/, Lilli & Pawntra! Also a shout out to Kim Turcotte, Katie Doyle, Kerry Coryell-VanderLinde and Erin Taylor!

On Sunday, March 7, 2010, the San Diego Film Festival hosted San Diego's only Official Academy Award Oscar Party at the magnificent W Hotel. The estimated 400 guests sprawled out over the entire first floor and catwalk above the living room. I think a few brave souls even hung out at the "Beach" amidst light rain. Candee by Sandee was excited and flattered to be asked to host the "Eye Candy" bar and share our wide variety of sweets with all the SDFF partiers! We met some wonderful new friends, amongst them, the girls from Solana Beach's Cupcake Love cupcakes. SOOO Yummy! 'Key lime' was the hot ticket for me! After the candy and cupcake SUGAR RUSH, I'm sure the guests (especially the guy that came back about a dozen times to the candy table) might have found themselves in their own private 'Hurt Locker'! Special thanks to SDFF committee members, Natalie Acklin, Jennifer Petrini and Kari Tweedale for putting this exciting and fun night together, thanks also to the W Hotel's Andrea Ebbing for the warm hospitality, and event photographer Diana Delzio for the awesome pictures! Great appreciation, as always, to Angel, Veronica and Danielle of Fusion Linens for the beautiful candy table linens, too!
